Lawro goes all Selwyn

Norwich v Man Utd (1330 GMT)

Norwich are already very comfortable in the Premier League, and it is a credit to their manager Paul Lambert that they have come through the divisions and adjusted to the top flight so well and so quickly, because he has not significantly changed the team.
Lambert could not have been sure who was good enough for the Premier League at the start of the season because so many of his side had not played there before.
So his judgement of a player is obviously very good and he has got his dressing room spot on too, which is a massive thing. There aren't any superstars there, and they all pull in the same direction.
Norwich need to keep hold of him for as long as they can because he is going to be a really top class manager. A few sides are going to be after him too, because he has had success after success.
Manchester United are a tough nut to crack, though, so a win here is a big ask. United rested a lot of players against Ajax in the Europa League so they will be ready for their trip to Carrow Road.
In fact, with Norwich going out of the FA Cup against Leicester last week, I just wonder if we might be about to see a little bit of a wobble from them. They have got enough points to be safe so it doesn't matter too much anyway.
Norwich were a bit unfortunate at Old Trafford earlier in the season, when Anthony Pilkington had a couple of really good chances but United just have a way of playing away which is so effective.
They operate on the break with width and pace and more often than not when they need a matchwinner, they find one.
Prediction: 0-2
